Although the deadline for filing and paying taxes has been extended this year, April 15 is still a time to reflect on how taxes can strengthen our families, our communities, and our nation. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, it has become abundantly clear that our lives are interconnected and that taxes play a critical role in supporting our public health infrastructure and quality of life. Making Tax Day a public health holiday would reinforce these important truths.
